Summary: This study found that high levels of physical activity are negatively correlated with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, indicating that high PA can reduce the risk of CVD and overall death. The research also suggests that even among individuals at high risk of CVD, high levels of PA do not pose additional risks.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the associations of objectively measured physical activity with major adverse cardiac events and mortality in patients with established coronary artery disease (CAD) who have undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It also aims to explore the relationship between early physical activity and sedentary time after PCI with these outcomes.

Summary: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in women and cardiac rehabilitation is underutilized. Community and home-based physical activity programs have shown promising results in overcoming women's barriers to exercise. These interventions offer appealing modes of physical activity, flexible options, and promote social interactions to improve participation rates and physical activity levels among women.

Summary: According to the UK Biobank cohort study, concentrating physical activity within 1-2 days is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events, similarly to more evenly distributed activity, as confirmed by accelerometer data.

Summary: Despite advancements in cardiovascular care, CVD remains a leading cause of death globally. Preventing CVD requires managing risk factors and detecting it early, as well as maintaining physical activity throughout life.

Summary: The study demonstrates that wrist-worn accelerometers are a reliable method to measure physical activity in dialysis patients. Age and leg weakness appear to be more important determinants of low activity levels than cardiovascular disease in this population.

Summary: This study found that subclinical reductions in kidney function in young adults are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. The relative risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and MACE plus heart failure (MACE+) was higher in young adults with eGFR below age-expected values. Age-appropriate risk stratification, proactive monitoring, and timely intervention are warranted.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed HIV patients receiving primary care at a large academic center in Miami, Florida. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) was found to be high among HIV patients, but the use of medications for primary and secondary prevention of CVD was low.

Summary: This study aimed to predict lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The results showed that men and women had similar lifetime CVD risk, with the risk declining as age increased. These findings can guide resource allocation and improve public health and preventive services, especially for individuals under the age of 50.

Summary: Recent studies have found that higher levels of occupational physical activity (OPA) are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the evidence for women is inconsistent and studies are limited by the healthy worker survivor effect. This study aimed to investigate the effects of OPA on asymptomatic carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) among women.

Summary: The majority of health care professionals have an appropriate level of physical activity, with men being more active in transport-related and health-enhancing physical activity than women. Younger professionals and those with higher education are more compliant with health-enhancing and muscle-strengthening physical activity guidelines. Physiotherapists are more active compared to the rest of health care professionals.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the trajectories of lifestyle characteristics and their association with 20-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence. The results showed that age, sex, abnormal waist circumference, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and diabetes were positively associated with 20-year CVD risk. Additionally, lifestyle trajectories, including being physically active throughout life-course and adhering to the Mediterranean diet, had a significant impact on CVD risk.

Summary: Metabolomics profiling is a valuable tool in investigating the mechanisms underlying how physical activity influences cardiovascular aging, shedding light on the progression of cardiovascular disease. This review highlights the importance of metabolic pathways connecting physical activity with cardiovascular aging.

Summary: This study investigated the association between changes in regular physical activity and the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as well as the optimal range of physical activity based on energy expenditure. The results showed that starting and maintaining regular physical activity were both associated with a lower risk of incident AF. Based on energy expenditure, new exercisers who engaged in regular physical activity for at least 1,500 MET-min/week and exercise maintainers who engaged in at least 1,000 MET-min/week had a lower risk of developing AF compared to non-exercisers.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of physical activity intensity on the incidence of cardiovascular disease, and found that higher intensity exercise was associated with lower rates of cardiovascular disease. Moderate intensity exercise appeared to play a particularly important role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
